14+ Pics That Made Our Palms Sweaty

We all like to be thrilled every once in a while, right? That's why we go on roller coasters and watch horror movies. We want excitement, but we want to be safe at the same time.

Since you're just looking at this on a screen, I can't really offer too much in the way of adrenaline beyond some pictures that will, hopefully, make your palms feel a little damp.

1. The worst thing about this one is that someone is doing this completely intentionally.

No, it's not someone having a near-phone-death experience after their Samsung slipped off the counter or something. This is just how they're propping up their phone to watch a video.

2. And this is why things like hazard pay exist.

I realize it's not the most important thing, but I am fascinated by the marks in the ground all over this farm. I realize it's just the farmer driving around or whatever, but it's kind of beautiful, right?

3. I get skittish around stairs at the best of times, but this one's just too much for me to handle.

I don't think my brain is understanding the shapes involved here. Like, it seems like you have to fight against gravity in a ton of different ways to navigate your way to town.

4. Thankfully, the scuba diver didn't bring any buns with them, so the anaconda left them alone.

Before any of you herpetologists get on me about what kind of snake this is, I suggest you try writing jokes for a living and see how fast and loose you get with your snake varieties.

5. There is about a 1% chance that you survive getting across this bridge...

And about a 0% chance that it's not haunted when you get to the other side of it.

6. Say what you will about this wedding venue, but it's not a bad way to make sure that only people who really care about you will come.

Although, I think I'd have a pretty legitimate answer for "do you have any reason why these people shouldn't be married?"

7. I'm not about to pretend to know enough about sea travel to say for sure that this is bad...but it sure doesn't look good.

If I was on that ship, I'd have a hard time not going "whoooaaaaaaaaaaaaa" every time the ship tipped a little bit.

8. There's stunting for the 'gram and then there's stunting for the 'gram.

I'm just jealous because this guy seems to have one phone in his hand and another on the selfie stick. I'm just not quite living that two-phone lifestyle yet, y'know?

9. I don't give a dam what you're filming, there's very little way that this seems worth it to me.

Reddit | BuggyTousts

Unless it's the opening shot of GoldenEye because that thing was worth as many stunt people and directors as you had to lose to get it.

10. I'm not exactly sure what this picture says about the state of this guy's job, but I'm sure it says something.

Reddit | RIPJ4WZ

That's one case where you definitely don't want your hands to be sweaty. You need them as grippy as possible.

11. As dangerous as this looks, this is actually a pretty popular tourist spot in Norway. 

Reddit | mrmustard04

It's called "Kjeragbolten," which, according to Google Translate means "Kjeragbolten," when you turn it into English.

12. I'm not about to pretend that I know that there's a better way to do this, but there has to be a better way to do this, right?

Reddit | yarpblat

If I know anything about the internet, though, it's that if I'm wrong, someone will have mentioned it in the comments by now.

13. Safety standards? We don't need no stinking safety standards!

Reddit | miishkii

Honestly, skiing is already dangerous enough. So why stop the danger there? The ride up the hill should be just as deadly.

14. I cannot tell you how absolutely tempted I would be to drop stuff down here and see what floor it landed on.

Reddit | CallForthTheSkull

Then again, I'm also the kind of dummy who would slip in while peeking down the hole and either get stuck or end up on a quick trip to the basement.

15. We all need somebody to lean on.

Reddit | SR_BANANA

If you didn't sing that caption in your head while you were reading it, I'm sorry, but we just can't be friends anymore. I'll leave a box of your stuff at the door for you to pick up while I'm at work.

16. I've heard a lot of reasons why people think that AirPods are dumb, but losing your hand trying to fish one out of a waste disposal unit is one that I hadn't considered.
